Sadly, I write this today after learning that Andy Williams has passed away. No, I did not idolize this man or any man for that matter. But his songs take me back to a simpler time. A time when Mama would have her favorite Albums playing softly on the Stereo, as she went about her daily chores and caring for her family. A time when music wasn't loud or offensive but contained both, beautiful lyrics and melodies.
So thank you Andy for the joy that you brought into our home...the Autumn leaves are falling.

I agree, Trish. I just saw where Andy had died. Some of my happiest memories when I was a kid are of watching Andy's show with my parents. His voice was so smooth and beautiful.
Hugs~
He will be missed.
What a soft, mellow voice. And Autumn Leaves, great song.
Great legacy of a great artist.
Wasn't it wonderful to watch his TV show and never have to worry about it's content? He had a great voice, and wonderful music to remember.
Love loved Andy Williams and his variety shows over the years....he brought his Christmas show to Atlanta a couple of years ago and I told my hubby, if we don;t see him this time I don't think we will get another chance...we didn't...but i was right...it was his last visit here....I feel like he knew the Lord...I hope so...
My mom loved Andy Williams too, and so did I. I agree with the way you described him. The music of the yesteryears are so pure and so uplifting, even if they weren't written by Christians, yet the values were worth emulating.
Yes, we also watched the Any Williams show on TV. Those are memorable years... nostalgic.
Loved this post, Trish.
Love
